Today’s modern systems have become increasingly complex to design and build,
while the demand for reliability and cost effective development continues. Reli-
ability is one of the most important attributes in all these systems, including
aerospace applications, real-time control, medical applications, defense systems,
humandecision-making,andhome-securityproducts.Growinginternationalcompe-

We’re living in an era of fast and unpredictable change. Billions of people are
connected to each other through their mobile devices. Data is being collected and

Thebookconsistsof15chaptersthatcoversaselectionofrecentdevelopments
and applications on various related topics in reliability and statistical computing.
The emphasis of this book is on the practical applications of reliability and statis-
tical methods and techniques in various disciplines using machine learning, risk
assessment,modelingandoptimization,andothercomputationalmethods.
